Ugh! Not Again

"Huh?" "What do ya mean the snows not going to last!"
"Just go and play with your sister Freddie."
"Okay Momma." "Glorrrria!"

"Holy geez, Gloria!" What the heck are ya doing?"

Yes, even Gloria gets in her moods once in a while and Freddie doesn't know what to make of her.

I tried to encourage them to get as much play time in as they could in the snow since it was going to be 9 degrees C or about 50 degrees F. Soon the yard started to look like this.........

as things started to warm up. Then by mid afternoon yesterday........

.........THIS AGAIN!! And what does this spell? MUD!

If you look close at this picture of my lilac bushes you can see it has buds on it. Next is my Tiger Lilies.

They have started to pop out of the ground because they think it is spring!

So poor ole Freddie got to run free for a total of 1 1/2 days and now he's back to going out on a leash because our yard is once again a muck hole!! Gloria and Fred are so close any more that she actually stood by Freddie as he slunk back into a depression yesterday afternoon!

Let's hear it for MO - I'm in Cape Girardeau with no snow; I moved here from MT, SD and MN - 17 years and I still crave snow. Been ready for it since September - Freddie, though it was fleeting, at least you had some! We have rain and mud w/o enough freeze to take care of the fleas and ticks :(. Lilies are my favorite flower - day lilies and irises :). I'm watching buds and new grass, too.

hehe, I don't envy you with your dogs and muddy backyard at a time like this!! ;) Cute pics! I'm so happy that I can finally pass an award on to you for a change!! The Liebster Blog Award (yes, you get yet another one!!) because I love your blog. Check out my blog to see!! :)

That is exactly the same progression that took place at our house yesterday. In the morning we had s snow covered lawn and deck, but by 5PM the snow was gone and the entire yard was full of mud... which of course was eventually brought right into the house!

I'm good at dancing - well, jumping - so I'll do a snow dance for you. It hasn't worked for me though. We haven't had snow since early December. My person says she wishes you could send smells through blogs when your lilacs start blooming.

My Vickie and I have to come by as often as possible for our "Basset Fix" WE just love watching you play and love the close ups of your faces. So to cheer some of you up, we are off to do a "Snow Dance" for you.

About Me

This is me with my late basset hound Barney. He taught me to love all things basset. Below are Fred and Gloria, our newest bassets. Basset Momma is about random thoughts and daily muse in the life of a basset hound Momma and Homeward Bound is simply about food and recipes.
